SUMMARY:"Fame! (they're *not* going to live forever)"
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE NEW VENUE INFORMATION: \n“Fame! (they’re not going to live forever)” will be performed at the Walla Walla Community College Performing Arts and Science Center on Thursday\, February 18\, at 7:00 p.m. \nThis is a highly-entertaining reading series where intimate\, private letters\, written by some of history’s most famous (and infamous) people\, are read aloud in front of a live audience. \nIn 1968\, Andy Warhol said “In the future\, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” His prediction of fame’s fleeting nature in our celebrity-saturated culture could not have been more true. \nThrough the letters of many celebrities (including Mr. Warhol\, himself) the audience learns about the high price of fame and how it has both evolved and devolved over the years. A funny\, poignant and moving experience with live musical accompaniment and a dynamic slide show. \nAdmission to this show has been changed to Pay-What-You-Can\, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Brian K. Senter Fine Arts Scholarship Fund. \n# # # \nWant to receive early notice and access to ticket sales? Become a Gesa Power House Theatre Member (highest priority) or sign up for our e-mail list!

SUMMARY:An Evening With Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Judy Collins will perform a concert at the Gesa Power House Theatre on February 12\, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. \nJudy Collins is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, was entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Her dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Clowns”\, a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical “A Little Night Music”\, won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammy Awards. \nJudy Collins began her impressive music career at 13 as a piano prodigy dazzling audiences performing Mozart’s “Concerto for Two Pianos”\, but the hard luck tales and rugged sensitivity of folk revival music by artists such as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger seduced her away from a life as a concert pianist. \nOver her long and varied career\, Judy Collins garnered several top-ten hits gold- and platinum-selling albums\, and four Grammy Award nominations. Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, Shawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album “Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins”. \nOn September 18\, 2015\, Collins released her first studio album in four years\, “Strangers Again”. She invited a cast of icons and young talents to sing with her on this fresh collection\, from Willie Nelson\, Jackson Browne and Jeff Bridges to Glen Hansard\, Ari Hest and Bhi Bhiman. Judy Collins delicately soars over a revitalized “Send In The Clowns” and breathes new life into “Hallelujah.” She puts her indelible touch on songs by Leonard Bernstein\, Randy Newman\, James Taylor and more. \nJudy Collins\, now 76\, is as creatively vigorous as ever\, writing\, touring worldwide\, and nurturing fresh talent. She is a modern day Renaissance woman who is also an accomplished filmmaker\, record label head\, musical mentor\, and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart. \nReserved seating tickets ($46) sold out quickly.

SUMMARY:Paula Poundstone
DESCRIPTION:Comedian Paula Poundstone will perform at the Gesa Power House Theatre on Thursday\, January 28 at 7:00 p.m. \nCurrently best known as a frequent panelist on NPR’s #1 show “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me”\, Poundstone got her start in the 1980’s as a touring stand-up comedian. Highlights of her career include comedy specials on HBO and BRAVO\, providing the backstage commentary during the 1992 presidential election on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno\, field pieces for The Rosie O’Donnell Show in 1996\, and various film and television credits including a voice in Pixar’s recent animation “Inside Out”. \nPaula Poundstone was the first woman to win the American Comedy Award for Best Standup Comic\, and was the first woman to perform stand-up at the prestigious White House Correspondents dinner\, and was voted into the Comedy Hall of Fame. \nPoundstone’s ability to be spontaneous with a crowd is the stuff of legend. “No two shows I do are the same\,” says Poundstone. “It’s not that I don’t repeat material. I do. My shows\, when they’re good\, and I like to think they often are\, are like a cocktail party. When you first get there\, you talk about how badly you got lost and how hard it was to find parking. Then you tell a story about your kids or what you just saw on the news. You meet some new people and ask them about themselves. Then\, someone says\, ‘Tell that story you used to tell\,’ and then someone on the other side of the room spills a drink\, and you mock them. No one ever applauds me when I leave a party\, though. I think they high five.” \nReserved seating tickets ($45) are sold out.

SUMMARY:WW Chamber Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:The 2016 Winter Festival concludes with a duel. You have heard of “Dueling Banjos?” Well\, on this night you will have dueling quartets. Festival artists\, Brittany Boulding (violin)\, Alistair MacRae (cello)\, Maria Sampen (violin) and Timothy Christie (viola) are joined by special guest artists\, PRISM Quartet for a wild exploration of music for string and saxophone quartets respectively. \nThe two quartets will also join forces for a performance of Seattle-born composer\, Paul Chihara’s\, Forever Escher. The title takes inspiration from the graphic artist\, M.C. Escher\, whose prints adorn the dorm room of many an undergraduate. We are all familiar with the images of stairs leading to impossible dimensions or the pair of hands simultaneously drawing themselves in 2- and 3-D. The Escher of this work\, however\, explores the concept of metamorphosis\, specifically in his 1940 work\, Metamorphosis II.  We will explore this concept sonically through music of Mendelssohn\, Chihara and beyond.

SUMMARY:Wildwood Park - CD Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Indie folk-rock band\, Wildwood Park\, will release its debut CD\, “A Beauty in Her Day” at a special event at the Gesa Power House Theatre on October 30 at 7:30 p.m. \nHailing from Walla Walla\, Wildwood Park showcases the song-craft of brothers and veteran songwriters Aaron and Jesse Burgess and features the vocals and violin of Anna Okada Burgess\, Jesse’s 19-year-old daughter. Anna\, a classically-trained violinist\, singer\, and Celtic fiddler\, released a solo CD (“Spring in Brassica”) at age 14\, and at 15 she performed in the exclusive National High School Honors Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York. Drummer Dov Friedman completes the quartet. \nWildwood Park’s sound is autumnal and rich. The songs are sad and hopeful\, emotionally mature\, featuring delicate melodies reminiscent of John Lennon’s lyrical songs\, with strong influences from folk rock music from the late 60s and early 70s: from Nick Drake to the Beatles\, and Neil Young to Bob Marley. The subject matter ranges from spiritual epiphany\, to love lost\, to a story of a homeless man’s last hours on the cold streets of a sleeping city. \nMost songs on “A Beauty in Her Day” feature Anna’s exquisite and passionate violin work. Her singing is finely textured\, intimate\, and free of the affectations so often found in singers in the contemporary indie folk-rock scene. \nThis concert will feature several guest musicians\, including San Francisco producer and virtuoso pedal steel guitarist Bruce Kaphan\, Nick Bader\, Doug Scarborough\, Michael Simon\, and Elena Janis. \n**SOLD OUT**

SUMMARY:Deep Love: A Rock Opera
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Power presents “Deep Love” on Friday\, October 23 at the Gesa Power House Theatre at 7:30 p.m. \n“Deep Love” is a glimpse at life through the eyes of a young widow struggling to meet the demands of her deceased husband’s undying love. Sweethearts turn into adversaries in pursuit of what they cannot live without. \n“Deep Love” is a rock opera – a theatrical story told entirely through music. Intense orchestral sounds are combined with the fun of a rock band to create a unique soundscape for each scenario and character. \nThis rock opera features the vocals of Jon Peter Lewis from American Idol and The Voice\, and Amy Whitcomb from The Voice and The Sing-Off. The musical was co-written by Ryan Hayes\, who appeared with Lewis on The Voice as the duo Midas Whale. \nIn July\, “Deep Love” was selected by a jury of Tony Award-winning directors and producers to be one of only ten featured shows of the New York Musical Theatre Festival. \n \n“We are pleased to see Deep Love reaching more and more people every year\,” says writer Ryan Hayes. “This will be our biggest season yet.” \n“The creative team of Deep Love is exceptionally talented\,” adds Jon Peter Lewis. “Performing the show in New York City was an incredible experience for everyone who has worked so hard on this project and connecting with people in the city’s theater world has been an invaluable experience.” \nReserved Seating tickets ($32-$28) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. \nThe Characters:\nDoomed by her namesake\, Constance is trapped in a world where she is not permitted to change. And so she suffers as she gives up that which would make her happy all for the sake of love. \nOld Bones is the ghost of Constance’s first love. Although she cannot see him\, we are assured that his love for her is strong enough to keep him by her side. He is tender\, yet strong as he offers protection to Constance in exchange for her faithfulness to their earthly vows. \nIn the eternal struggle for peace\, Friedrich determines that it is constancy that his life lacks and seeks it fully in Constance. When the jealously of Old Bones drives Constance away from Friedrich\, he abandons the notion of earthly peace for the more sure and lasting peace of death. \nUnsatisfied by how things ended between herself and Friedrich\, Florence obsessively watches the ongoings of Friedrich and Constance while scoffing at Friedrich’s desire to change. At the death of Friedrich she identifies Constance as the culprit and takes it upon herself to execute justice. \nFrequently Asked Question:\nWould my child (or my mother) enjoy this? Yes! While the show deals with death themes\, it is not scary and is intended for all audiences.

Journalists\, the art world and his family all want a piece of him and on top of that he is met with a gigantic lawsuit from the Chinese government\, soon to be named ‘The Fake Case’.

Ai Weiwei strongly believes that China is ready for change. And he will do everything to make it happen. \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. Foundry Vineyards wine by the glass will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Tales From the Forgotten Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:The Shakespeare Walla Walla Masters Series presents “Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom: Ladino Songs” at the Gesa Power House Theatre on Saturday\, September 26\, at 7:30 p.m. This concert is made possible in part thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts\, WESTAF and the Washington State Arts Commission. \n \nA queen who runs away with her slave\, joining her fate to her beloved servant’s. Brides who abandon their weddings and join a shipful of sailors. Men who go courting\, only to get taunted or tossed down a well. \nThese wild rides and fantastic yarns spring from Ladino tradition\, from songs and stories carried by Sephardic Jews as they moved from Spain and settled along the Mediterranean’s northern coast to Greece and Turkey. In multicultural metropolises like Sarajevo\, in picturesque island towns like Rhodes\, Jewish culture-bearers recounted the romantic escapades and derring do of a cast of characters worthy of a cutthroat fantasy novel. \nMulti-instrumentalist\, singer\, and skilled arranger Guy Mendilow and his four musical collaborators leap into this world in Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom. The intertwining music and storytelling conjure an imagi-nation lost to war and upheaval\, recorded in a language that blends archaic Spanish with Arabic\, Hebrew\, and Greek. By digging deep into Sephardic scholarship and revitalizing the sound recorded on gritty field recordings\, Mendilow and company bring tales to life\, intertwining voices\, percussion\, and soulful playing to render these songs in all their color\, drama\, and heart. \n“If you like Game of Thrones\, these stories are for you\,” suggests Mendilow with a smile. “The tales are amazing. The melodies twist and turn\, like the culture of adaptation Sephardic musicians embraced. Much of it is modal music\, with elements that run from epic tunes to early 20th-century foxtrots and tangos\, and all of it is mesmerizing\, in its beauty and intensity.”Embark on a musical trek to kingdoms long forgotten and bustling towns now vanished. Follow the stories of vagabond queens\, pauper poets and lovers lost to the sea\, all set to spellbinding arrangements of old Sephardi songs worthy of symphonic film scores. Wrap these tales up with lush soulful harmonies evoking Flamenco’s gutsiness and the longings of Fado\, all combined with heart-pounding percussion and intricate soundscapes. \nReserved Seating Tickets ($18 – $15 Adults\, $5 Students) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. \nNOTE: A previously scheduled Sunday\, Sept. 27 performance has been cancelled. All ticket-holders for that date will be contacted by the box office for an exchange. \nAbout The Guy Mendilow Ensemble \n“An international tour de force” (Bethlehem Morning Call) from Israel\, Palestine\, Argentina and the USA\, the Guy Mendilow Ensemble are passionate educators determined to give students of all ages their best\, the ensemble inspires with innovative master-classes\, immersive residencies and  imaginative outreach.
